             In January 1996, the Company issued $300,000 of convertible
preferred stock, which were converted into 533,334 shares of common stock in
March 1996.

             On February 21, 1996, the Board of Directors approved an increase
in the authorized common stock shares from 20,000,000 to 50,000,000 shares.

             On April 18, 1996, the Company issued $1,200,000 of 5% subordinated
promissory notes and bridge units. Simultaneously with the issuance of this
note, the holder hereof is entitled to receive such number of shares of the
Company's common stock and common stock purchase warrants, as equals (a) 35% of
the principal amount of this note, divided by the lesser of the closing high bid
price of the common stock (the "Bid Price") on the day on which a registration
statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1993, registering such Unit
Securities is declared effective, or the price of the units to be sold by the
Company in its proposed secondary public offering pursuant to such registration
statement, if such effective date shall occur on or prior to four months from
the final closing; or (b) 40% of the principal amount of this note divided by
the lesser of the Bid Price or the offering price on the effective date, if such
effective date shall occur between five months and seven months from the final
closing; or (c) 50% of the principal amount of this note divided by the lesser
of the Bid Price or the offering price on the effective date, if such effective
date shall occur on or after the end of seven months from the final closing. In
the event that either (a) these notes have not been paid on or prior to the
maturity date; or (b) the unit securities have not been registered by on or
prior to the end of seven months from the final closing, then, at the sole
option of the holder of this note, the entire

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                       Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 vs.
                         Six Months Ended June 30, 1995




Results of Operations

             The Company's revenue for the first six months of 1996 increased
significantly from the same period in 1995, from $7,086,473 in 1995 to
$13,718,768 in 1996, i.e., by 94 percent. This increase substantially resulted
from the acquisition of Armstrong Freight in June 1995, Trans Lynx in July 1995,
Automated Solutions (ASI) in November 1995, Krogel in February 1996 and Jackson
& Johnson in June 1996.

             Armstrong's revenue (combined with Trans Lynx and Krogel, the
operations of which acquisitions have been merged into Armstrong), for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 was $3,211,031. ASI's revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was $3,469,582. Jackson & Johnson's revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 was $42,115.

             At the end of 1993, the Company's Board of Directors decided to
terminate the Company's charter bus operations. Charter operations had produced
very small profit margins in recent years and only when undertaken in
conjunction with contract operations. All charter operations have been
discontinued, sold or otherwise dissolved by the end of 1995. As of June 30,
1996, the only assets remaining from the discontinued segment was one (1) motor
coach bus with a book value of $55,953.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

             The Company's working capital of $748,856 at June 30, 1996
represented a decrease of $824,303 from the Company's working capital of
$1,416,261 at December 31, 1995. This decrease is chiefly the result of
utilizing working capital for capital expenditures in the second quarter of
1996.

             Cash flow from operations was $1,615,978 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 before the application of funds to working capital components. The
Company anticipates positive cash flow from continuing operations in the
foreseeable future. Further, the Company anticipates that cash flow from the
discontinued charter segment will continue to be positive as the Company
disposes of this segment's assets.

             The Company has no significant commitments at this time which would
require it to expend capital and believes its current facilities and capital
equipment are adequate for the Company as currently structured.
